Critic Reviews
-
Lisa Nesselson, Variety
Despite bracingly peculiar premise and astonishingly fine perf from Gary Oldman, pic is an honorable failure.
-
Bill Gibron, PopMatters
...substitutes schmaltz for sincerity to create a heated hate crime all its own.
-
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...never quite becomes as bad as it sounds, primarily thanks to the expectedly stellar performances.

Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena
As belas performances de todo o elenco (especialmente de McConaughey) enriquecem este drama intimista sobre um homem em conflito com seus próprios genes.

Eric D. Snider, EricDSnider.com
Sanctimonious and maudlin, playing like an educational film on dwarfism.
